Name: Paul Lecocq
Company: IBM
Title: Program Director, POWER Open Hardware

Hello all, I am a 20+ year employee of IBM. I have worked across many aspects of hardware design including all areas of ASIC design, logic, PD, hw validation and test; large custom CPU design from entry level designer to chip lead, and concept to final product support. My recent experience is around system architecture, coherent accelerator attach focused on FPGAs, and now learning how to work in open source projects. I am experienced with IBM and Xilinx tooling and learning to translate that to open tooling.

In my personal life, I am married with two “children”, college students really. My hobbies are Ultimate Frisbee, Poker, Boating, Hunting, Fishing, basically any other outdoor activity. I have a love of good BBQ, beer, and bourbon :).

I am looking forward to working in this community and learning from others with varied backgrounds.

I’m Priyanshu Mishra, computer Architecture and Digital Design Enthusiast, a functional Verification trainee, currently working on Power Cores! I Love the concept of Open-source where we collaborate with excellent professionals in the field of computing as well as Novice (like me).

Though I’m an inexperienced in this huge field of computing, my main focus is mostly on learning/designing reconfigurable Architectures, Single and Multi-core/ManyCore Architectures, Cache coherence, Heterogeneous Architectures, DRAM Architectures and microarchitecture… specialized accelerators etc.

Looking forward to learn from all amazing peoples here and contribute to this community.
